Can I throw the brushy/fabricy Dyson vacuum heads in the wash?
With the rest of the laundry?

You'd probably want to toss it in a pillow case first, but machine washing should be fine, although I'd do it on the cold wash setting.
Definitely don't put it in the dryer, though.
Can you show what part you mean? I'm not that familiar with them.
The plastic bits with the hard edges? Probably not a good idea.
The ones with motors do come apart so you can wash the non-electric bits by hand in warm soapy water.
I’d recommend against running the filters through the wash too — it’s all best washed by hand.

The hard plastic end that clips into the vacuum would likely warp. I wouldn’t risk it.
Just machine washing it shouldn't warp the plastic. Just don't put it in the dryer.
I wouldn't—I think that repeatedly bashing a plastic piece into metal probably isn't great for the plastic piece—but if you do, I'd use cold wash and not test what temperatures it can tolerate.
